Political Punch Recently the President's re-election campaign released a list of songs — a soundtrack, really — to be played during campaign events or just offered up to his supporters to download.

A theme song for a political campaign is not at all a new concept -- remember FDR 's 'Happy Days are Here Again,' for instance, or the Frank Sinatra rewritten version of "High Hopes" for John F. Kennedy's campaign.

But as we've seen recently, campaigns sometimes run into trouble when they incorporate music without the OK from the musician on the other side of the political aisle. Tom Petty wanted Michelle Bachmann to quit it with 'American Girl' last year. But if the campaign is in your political corner, as Bruce Springsteen was for Barack Obama and John Kerry's campaigns, there is less friction.

Leper Messiah is more accurate.

Spineless from the start, sucked into the part
circus comes to town, you play the lead clown
Please, please
spreading his disease, living by his story
Knees, knees
falling to your knees, suffer for his glory
You will You will You will You will

Time for lust, time for lie
time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make your contribution
and you'll get a better seat
Bow to Leper Messiah

Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix
blind devotion came, rotting your brain
chain chain
Join the endless chain
Taken by this leper

Fame, Fame
Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power
We see We see We see We see

Time for lust, time for lie
time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make your contribution
and you'll get a better seat
Bow to Leper Messiah

Bow to Leper Messiah

Witchery, weakening
sees the sheep are gathering
set the trap, hypnotize
now you follow

Time for lust, time for lie
time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make your contribution
and you'll get a better seat

Lie. Lie. Lie. Lie. Lie. Lie. Lie. Lieeeeeeeeeee

Let’s start with Miss Connie Stevens, with a blast from the past 1962 hit parade:

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N in the summer sun

Put away the books, we’re out of school
The weather’s warm but we’ll play it cool
We’re on vacation, havin’ lots of fun
V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N in the summer sun

(or spring, winter, or fall...)

It’s what I think of every one of the 16 times the Obamanation goes on R&R...

YOU TALK TOO MUCH - Joe Jones

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GOYYbiEul0

"You Talk Too Much"
(Joe Jones and Reginald Hall)

You talk too much
You worry me to death
You talk too much
You even worry my pet

You just talk
Talk too much

You talk about people
That you don't know
You talk about people
Wherever you go

You just talk
Talk too much

You talk about people
That you've never seen
You talk about people
You can make me scream

You just talk
you talk too much

How about Chopin’s Funeral March, since that Kenyan Sh*thead is presiding over the death of America.
